1. Red Hat Linux 7.x:
- get moodss (includes sqlite SQL library) and moomps rpms from http://jfontain.free.fr/
- tcl, tk and blt rpms are included in the distribution
- get tktable, tclodbc rpms from http://jfontain.free.fr/
- get mysqltcl rpm from http://www.xdobry.de/mysqltcl/
- eventually get tclperl, tclpython or tclpython2 from http://jfontain.free.fr/

2. Red Hat Linux 8.x and 9, Fedora 1:
- as in Red Hat 7.x, except that blt is no longer included in the distribution, grab
  the latets blt rpm at (depending on your distribution):
    http://download.fedora.us/fedora/redhat/8.0/i386/RPMS.stable/
    http://download.fedora.us/fedora/redhat/9/i386/RPMS.stable/
    http://download.fedora.us/fedora/fedora/1/i386/RPMS.stable/

3. Suse Linux 8.1 and above:
- all the required packages are included in the Suse distribution
  (else use the Red Hat rpms). You must use the Suse blt package as it is
  patched to work with the Tcl/Tk 8.4 Suse packages.

4. Debian:
- use the 17.1 or above (moomps does not seem to be available).

5. UNIX (Linux or Solaris) from source:
- Tcl and Tk 8.3.1 or above need be installed and working on your platform.
- The BLT library (at http://sourceforge.net/projects/blt/, BLT2.4?.tar.gz)
needs to be installed (always grab the latest version): follow the installation
instructions in the BLT package, then make sure it works:
    $ wish
    % package require BLT
    2.4
- The tkTable widget library version 2.7 or above for UNIX (at
http://tktable.sourceforge.net/) also needs to be installed on your system:
    $ wish
    % package require Tktable
    2.7

- Install from the directory where moodss was unpacked:
    $ make ROOTDIR=/home/jdoe/moodss install
(look at the top of the Makefile for default installation directories and
supported modules of the platform).
- You may also use moodss from the unpacking directory. For example:
    $ cd /home/jdoe/moodss-17.9
    $ make
    $ ./moodss random

- If you need the database history feature, get and install:
  - mysqltcl from http://www.xdobry.de/mysqltcl/ for native MySQL.
    Check that it works:
    % package require mysqltcl
    2.30
or
  - sqlite from http://www.hwaci.com/sw/sqlite/ for a file based SQL
    library. Download (or re-compile) tclsqlite.so and install it into the
    sqlite sub-directory (from the installation moodss directory where all
    the modules are located).
    Check that it works (from the installation moodss directory):
    % lappend auto_path .
    % package require sqlite
    2.0
or
  - tclodbc from http://tclodbc.sourceforge.net/) for ODBC
    Check that it works:
    % package require tclodbc
    2.2.1

- Install the optional tclperl package if you want to test or develop
modules written in the Perl language (available from my homepage).

- Install the optional tclpython packages if you want to test or
develop modules written in the Python language (available from my
homepage).

5. Windows:
Please use the install.txt file (included in the zip moodss distribution).
Note: the SQLite library is also included.
